Vaccination is one of the most cost-effective and successful of public health interventions. It has been used to tackle diseases such as rabies, diphtheria, tetanus, yellow fever and, more recently, polio, measles, mumps, and rubella and hepatitis B.
In the past, vaccination was aimed mostly at the young. Today it can be used for people of all ages with a range of vaccines available to prevent disease at all stages of life.

Living and working in Belgium
Around two thirds of our workforce is based in Belgium, which is home to our global headquarters along with our principal R&D and production facilities. That means our employees are based right in the heart of Europe, with easy access to such cities as Paris, London, Amsterdam, and, of course, Brussels.
Victories and challenges
Vaccines have helped to bring many diseases under control. Examples are poliomyelitis, measles and smallpox.
However, many diseases are still not preventable by vaccination. Our search continues for vaccines to prevent some of the world’s most common diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS and malaria.
